If you think about driving a semi truck, big rig, 18 wheeler or whatever you want to call it you can honestly admit that it has to be a hard job. 10 tons of machine traveling around 70 miles per hour on a major highway is a formidable responsibility however like the saying goes someone has to do it. Well these someone's are talented and dedicated hardworking men and women who play a big part in connecting our society's commerce blood line. I guess the point i'm trying to get to is that we here all the time about truck accidents and how devastating they are and i'm not arguing that what I am disputing is that all the blame falling squarely on the shoulders of the truck driver and the trucking company. Think about all the obstacles a truck driver takes in as he or she is traversing a turnpike. Not to mention that every car and other auto on the road has the right of way to the large trucking vehicle. Now think about how many other vehicles on the road there are compared to the truck and the possibilities of one of these vehicles making a mistake and forcing a fully loaded truck to react in a short time. The odds are the truck wont be able to and therefore the driver of the truck is forced to make a tough decision and inevitably crash.
I am no legal expert more a civil speculator in the terms of trucking laws but I wonder how many incidents like this occur where the truck driver is not at fault. I know a goo Tampa truck accident lawyer will have seen a few and how do they go about defending a litigating a settlement.
